Chapter 1093: Enemy Appears (Thanks to Feixue2012 for His Long-Term Support!)
In fact, Ye Tian had already made some preliminary plans for the next battle plan.
The Ikeda Squadron was wiped out, and the Third Battalion should know it soon.
Then, the Third Battalion is likely to enter a panic mode.
Once this happens, it is almost impossible to wipe them out.
In the Japanese army, the battalion is above the squadron.
A Japanese squadron, under normal circumstances, has 181 soldiers.
And a regular Japanese infantry battalion has 1,100 soldiers.
On the other hand, the Chinese army is not organized in a general disorder.
However, under normal circumstances, a battalion has about 300 soldiers.
A standard Chinese regiment has two to three thousand soldiers.
Therefore, compared with the Chinese army, a Japanese infantry battalion is much larger than a battalion, but much smaller than a regiment.
In other words, the organization of the Japanese infantry battalion, according to the Chinese army, is between the battalion and regiment.
Specifically, a standard Japanese infantry battalion has the following strength:
A battalion headquarters of 30 people;
A transport squadron of 110 people, using carts and mules and horses as tools, but some infantry battalions' transport squadrons were merged into the regiments of the next level;
Four infantry squadrons, each with 181 people;
A 55-man artillery squad, with a 10-man squad headquarters, a 15-man ammunition squad, and two 15-man artillery squads, each equipped with a Type 92 infantry gun.
However, according to Ikeda Akiba's confession, the Third Battalion was the trump card of the Ninth Regiment.
Therefore, compared with ordinary infantry battalions, the Third Battalion took the path of overstaffing.
Specifically, there was no artillery squad in the Third Battalion.
Instead, there was a 122-man artillery squadron!
In this artillery squadron, there was a 27-man ammunition squadron and two 31-man artillery squadrons.
Each artillery squad is equipped with two Type 92 infantry guns.
That is to say, in this third battalion, the number of Type 92 infantry guns has reached an astonishing four.
On the other hand, the Chinese army, let alone a regiment of two or three thousand people, even a division of about ten thousand people, may not have a cannon as a killer.
Even heavy machine guns are not many.
With such a large gap in firepower, it is conceivable that once the two sides encounter each other, the Chinese army will be very miserable.
To put it bluntly, facing the super firepower of the devils, even if the Chinese army fills it with human lives, it is difficult to stop the tragic defeat.
Of course, the super anti-war system has entered a dormant state, and Ye Tian dare not risk his life, that is, to challenge the third battalion alone.
There is no difference between doing this and seeking death.
The most important thing is that doing this is meaningless to restart the super anti-war system.
To put it bluntly, he will die on the spot, and he will never be able to participate in the anti-war cause again.
However, with his understanding of the Japanese troops, Ye Tian had a lot of ideas.
The Third Battalion is the forward force of the 16th Division.
At present, they are at the forefront of the entire Central China Front Army.
Their mission is very simple, which is to chase and kill the Chinese army that fled to Nanjing.
In addition, the Third Battalion is also responsible for finding and annihilating the remaining Chinese troops.
In this way, even if it is to open up a channel for the entire Central China Front Army, it will facilitate the Central China Front Army to quickly approach Nanjing.
Ye Tian has a lot of ideas, and the reason is very simple.
Taking the Ikeda Squadron that was wiped out as an example, coupled with Ikeda Akiha's confession, Ye Tian keenly captured the opportunity.
The 1,100 Japanese in the Third Battalion are not concentrated together.
In other words, the other three infantry squadrons, like the Ikeda Squadron, are far away from the battalion headquarters.
And the artillery squadron has been moving with the battalion headquarters.
Moreover, whenever any squadron encounters a tough opponent, this artillery squadron will immediately take on the role.
Of course, along with the battalion headquarters, there is also the 110-man transport squadron.
In other words, Ye Tian's target is a total of 264 devils.
They are:
The battalion headquarters with 30 soldiers;
The 110-man transport squadron;
The 122-man artillery squadron.
After thinking about this, Ye Tian curled his lips and made up his mind again.
Find these 264 devils immediately!
After finding them, see if there is a chance of annihilation.
If not, just capture the devil captain alive.
Of course, if there is a chance of annihilation, just annihilate him.
After making up his mind, Ye Tian rushed forward while keeping an eye on all directions.
It must be said that even though Ye Tian has amazing physical strength, he feels a little tired after pulling so many weapons.
For this reason, he had to smoke frequently.
What made Ye Tian happy was that it was winter in southern China at this moment, and the temperature was not very high.
Therefore, dragging such a heavy weapon was not unbearable for him.
Most importantly, the scene of sweating profusely did not appear.
When he was hungry, Ye Tian ate the remaining dog meat with the cold boiled water in the Japanese marching pot.
If he was really exhausted, Ye Tian would sit on the ground and rest for a while.
While being forced to rest, Ye Tian frequently missed the super anti-war system.
Also, if the super anti-war system is not dormant, just drink some Tianmu Divine Dew and you can immediately return to the state of being a dragon and a tiger.
Of course, after taking one Dali Pill, you will not feel tired within three days.
This afternoon, according to Ikeda Qiuye's confession, Ye Tian finally made a discovery with his excellent eyesight.
On a simple road leading to Nanjing, the footprints of the troops suddenly appeared.
Seeing these traces, Ye Tian's eyes widened and he looked ecstatic.
Without hesitation, Ye Tian started researching.
Judging from the footprints, they were definitely left behind by the Japanese troops.
Also, these footprints all correspond to the Japs' military boots.
In the Japanese army, braided boots and replacement boots are the most important military shoes.
Knitted boots are high-waisted leather shoes.
Specifically, it means that the upper position of the shoe is higher than the ankle bone and can completely wrap the ankle joint.
And braiding means that there are laces at the mouth of the shoe. When wearing shoes, you need to braid them, that is, tie them up.
While braided boots were widely used, what the Chinese regarded as "cow hoof military shoes", namely split-toed rubber shoes, were also commonly used among the Japanese.
Split-toed shoes are replacement boots, meaning they are worn in place of cowhide braided boots.
Ye Tian has witnessed it many times. In the Japs Army, you can often see different Japs wearing braided boots and replacement boots at the same time.
There are about thirty anti-slip iron nails installed on the bottom of the boots.
On the heel, there is a horseshoe-shaped iron sole inlaid with a thickness of nearly ten millimeters.
Military boots are equipped with iron nails and iron palms. There is no doubt that in addition to making the military boots durable, it also greatly increases the anti-slip effect.
Of course, when the devil walks, there will inevitably be a sound of metal hitting the ground.
In addition, in order to increase water resistance, most military boots use suede uppers.
Therefore, in appearance, the Japanese military boots are brown and reddish brown.
What I have to say is that considering going abroad to fight and the extreme shortage of resources, the Japanese army boots do not pay much attention to lightness, but pay more attention to functions such as durability and anti-skid.
Of course, military boots are strong and durable, and they also greatly reduce logistical pressure.
After confirming that these footprints were left by the Japanese, Ye Tian looked ahead intently following these footprints.
